This release of the Metasploit Framework source code is provided under
|
|
the terms of the Metasploit Framework License, version 1.2. This license
|
|
can be found in the file 'LICENSE', located in the same directory as this
|
|
document. The Metasploit Framework License is closer to a commercial software
|
|
EULA than a standard open-source license. The basic intent is:
|
|
|
|
1) Allow the Framework to remain open-source, free to use, and free to
|
|
distribute.
|
|
|
|
2) Allow module and plugin developers to choose their own licensing terms.
|
|
|
|
3) Prevent the Framework from being sold in any form or bundled with a
|
|
commercial product (software, appliance, or otherwise).
|
|
|
|
4) Ensure that any patches made to the Framework by a third-party are made
|
|
available to all users.
|
|
|
|
5) Provide legal support and indemnification for Framework contributors.
|
|
|
|
Please see the actual license for details.
